  • one-component polyurethane foams are concerned, they are applied and processed on site with a density of 10 to 50 g / l by applying the prepolymer composition from pressure containers, for example aerosol cans, using blowing agents.
  • 1-component foams are moisture-curing, ie they can cure only with the help of the moisture and substrate moisture contained in the air.
  • two-component polyurethane foams require a second hydroxyl-containing component, usually a polyol, which must be added immediately before the foam is formed. Curing can be accelerated by catalysts.
  • Bulk weights for 2-component foams are typically 10 to 100 g / l.
  • Transitional forms between 1K and 2K foams are possible.
  • an amount of a hydroxyl component which is not sufficient to convert the isocyanate groups is added to the prepolymer before it is applied.
